ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 524,343, dated August14, 1 894.

Application filedllovember 29,1893. Serial No. (N0 131061913 To aZZwhom/it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWIN D. MOCRAOKEN, of Alpine, in the county ofBergen and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Electrical Conductors, of which the following is aspecification.

I will describe a conductor embodying my improvement and then point outthe novel features in the claims.

The accompanying drawing is a side View of a conductor embodying myimprovement, different portions of its length being represented with theinsulating and covering materials removed so as to exhibit the importantfeature.

A designates a conductor which may consist of covered wire.

13 designates an insulating covering, which may consist of a strip orstrips 1) of paper,

the paper, dry the same with air which has already been dried ordeprived of moisture besides being heated. In this way, I am able toremove practically all the moisture from the paper. Afterward, and whilestill heated,

the paper is coated and permeated with a liquid which after filling,will render the paper anhydrous. Outside the paper and its coating andpermeating material, will preferably be used a coating or tubing of leador other like material C.

In another application Serial No. 492,331, filed November 29, 1893, Ihave fully described the-process of producing an electrical conductorsuch as I here claim, and have also illustrated and described apparatuswhich can be advantageously used in carrying out such process. Thereforefurther description of such process and apparatus will be unnecessaryhere.

What I claim as my invention is 1. An electrical conductor having acovering consisting of a strip or strips of paper, composed of purevegetable fiber, applied in its unchanged fibrous condition, the paperforming of itself an insulating covering and being dry and coated torender it practically anhydrous, substantially as specified.

2. An electrical conductor having a covering consisting of a strip orstrips of paper, composed of pure vegetable fiber, applied in itsunchanged fibrous condition, the paper forming of itself an insulatingcovering and having a suitable material coating and permeating it torender it practically anhydrous, substantially as specified.
